Drop Biscuits

Drop Biscuits are like biscuits with training wheels — you don’t have to worry about overworking the dough. The recipes for Drop Biscuits are wetter than biscuits you roll and punch out with a cutter.  Usually, they contain more milk or buttermilk than a traditional biscuit recipe. There are many different kinds of drop biscuits — this one is made with only THREE ingredients.  Butter is replaced with mayonnaise — and the combination of milk and mayonnaise creates a very similar flavor profile as buttermilk.

Mama made these often when we were growing up. After I attended culinary school, I admittedly became quite snobby about using store-bought ingredients in recipes. I wanted to make the mayonnaise, not buy it. This type of recipe seemed one short step above a baking mix. Now a little older and wiser, I appreciate it for what it is. I understand Mama was putting freshly baked bread on the family table, and that was really important. I now ask for them whenever I go home to visit and enjoy every delicious bite.
